Translation statusThe principal substantive difference is that Billerbeck identifies Νέδη as a river (ποταμὸς Ἀρκαδίας) while Meineke reads it as a city (πόλις Ἀρκαδίας). Secondary, mechanical differences include an orthographic variant in the adjective (Νεδήσιος vs Νεδεήσιος), differing editorial bracketing of καὶ, and minor punctuation/orthography differences.
